others (all of legal drinking age) who might enjoy lifting a glass
with interesting folks from all over the place.

sig-beer-west FAQ
1. Q: Your announcement says "techies and their friends". How do I
know if I'm a techie, or a friend of one?
A: Well, actually, you don't have to be a techie to attend. You
just have to be able to find the sig-beer-west sign at this
month's event. That's it. Simple, huh?
2. Q: I'm not really a beer person. In fact I'm interested in
hanging out, but not in drinking. Would I be welcome?
A: Absolutely! The point is to hang out with fun, interesting
folks. Please do join us.
3. Q: Is parking difficult in the city, like maybe I should factor
this into my travel time?
A: Yes.
Note for April 2004: Zeitgeist is three blocks from 16th
St BART.[9] You may want to consider BARTing[10] and not worrying
at all about parking.

__________________________________________________________________
sig-beer-west was started in February 2002 when a couple Washington,
D.C. based systems administrators who moved to the San Francisco Bay
area wanted to continue a dc-sage[11] tradition, sig-beer, which is
described in dc-sage web space as:
SIG-beer, as in "Special Interest Group - Beer" ala ACM, or as in
"send the BEER signal to that process".
[11] http://www.dc-sage.org/
The original SIG-beer gathering takes place in Washington DC, usually
on the first Saturday night of the month.
